Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty    *
    *                  Profile V8.5 users of JavaServer Pages      *
    *                  (JSP).                                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A tag file packaged in a directory      *
    *                      name containing a hyphen ("-") fails    *
    *                      to compile.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    An application which has a tag file packaged in a directory
    such as this:
    testapp.war/WEB-INF/tags/test/tag-folder/example-tag.tag
    Will receive the following exception:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: no such
    file:
    <WAS_HOME>\profiles\AppSrv01\temp\myNode01\server1\testapp\testa
    pp.war\com\ibm\ws\jsp\tagfile\webinf\tag-
    folder\_example_2D_tag.
    class
    The FileNotFoundException occurs because the example-tag.tag
    file was not translated and compiled due to the hyphen in the
    "tag-folder" directory.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JSP Container code was modified to properly handle the
    hyphen during the translation of the tag file. In the example
    above, the tag file will be translated and compiled to a
    directory named "tag_2D_folder" instead of "tag-folder".
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
